Abstract [en]

The Boost for Technology (Tekniklyftet) is an on-going education program run by the House of Science (Vetenskapens Hus) and financed by ESF (European Social Fund) involving 28 secondary schools within the Stockholm region. The goal is to enhance the technology teachers’ competence as well as strengthen the technology subject. In what way does this intervention influence the teachers’ work with technology education?

A pre-test questionnaire has been launched in order to collect data concerning views and practice as well as official documents have been studied in order to find the starting points of the project. This paper will provide descriptions concerning the starting points.
